Apply for funding for early learning and child care under the Social Development Partnerships Program – Children and Families

All applicants will receive an acknowledgement within 21 calendar days of submitting their application. Further to this acknowledgment, applicants will be notified of the status of their application within 90 days of the call for concepts closing date of July 27, 2018.

Applicants must not start their proposed project until notified by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) of approval and an agreement has been signed between the organization and a representative of ESDC.

This is the first step of a two-step application process. As this first step is a competitive process, please note that not all concepts submitted under this process will be approved. Funding is limited and subject to budget considerations of the program, ESDC and allocation of funds by Parliament.

Decisions are final and there is no appeal process.
